Yea all the ones with Julia!!! Lol!! The beginning when she's singing and when she helps Henry with his sermon. When she's singing to Jeremiah for bed, choir rehearsal scene, her date with Dudley, when they return home from ice skating, delivering christmas baskets with Henry, saying goodbye to Dudley and the nativity play, and when she sings I Love the Lord and Joy to the World.

LOL I have to agree with you there. I loved Whitney's character Julia. She was a great mother and wife although her husband was a jerk I think he should have taken her out on their date since she was all dressed up for it which she looked beautiful. I guess it was great that someone took her out though instead of her just waiting for it. I also loved that she adopted (at least I think that's what happened) her son's friend too. I was also glad that Julia & her husband got back on track with their marriage as well. Dudley really helped them see things differently and they needed that, so I'm happy that it all worked out in the end.

Jennifer Lewis is hilarious. Raven03 hit the nail on the head: "Don't be talking to me about your behind, I gave you that behind!"

AND

"Now that's what I call good-looking! Your Daddy used to look like that back in 19-- ..."

They must have had such a great time working together!

Yeah I don't doubt that. I think it's been on a few times since Whitney's death although not as much as The Bodyguard.
